These assessments can be used in a wide range of applications such as quantifying HRV levels in relationship to autonomic capacity, determining changes in HRV or coherence levels in research studies or interventions, and documenting physiological baseline shifts over time.

Challenges the autonomic nervous system via a guided 1-minute paced deep breathing protocol with a visual breath pacer to determine the maximum amount of vagally mediated (parasympathetic) HRV the clients autonomic nervous system produces. Results of the standardized HRV measures are compared to age-related reference ranges and a report can be printed and saved. HRV collected using this protocol has a good correlation to the gold standard 24-hour assessment of HRV making it ideal for assessing how much overall HRV a person has.

HRV Assessment

HRV assessment provides an analysis of heart rate variability with the most common standardized measures calculated from a user selectable time range between 2-minutes and 99-minutes.
